Market Perspective on the Conflict
To grasp how the market interprets the ongoing conflict, it's essential to recognize that financial markets operate with a pragmatic, unemotional approach. Although the collapse of negotiations over the weekend is certainly noteworthy, it does not serve as the primary driver for market movements. In general, disputes between regional powers tend to have limited influence on global financial markets.
What truly impacts the markets is the ability to maintain access to critical resources and ensure the smooth flow of goods. For instance, control over the Strait of Hormuz shifted from Iran last week to the United States this week. Without delving into political considerations, this shift is generally seen as favorable by the markets, based on the expectation that it will eventually lead to the full and unimpeded reopening of the Strait.

Democrats achieve a landslide victory, global stock markets "plunge before rebounding," gold and silver surge—what is the market trading on?
Behind this "sharp drop followed by a rebound" in the market is a rational correction after the rapid repricing of the political landscape. Trump's veto power provides a two-way check and balance, making policy gridlock the most likely outcome, thus calming panic sentiment. However, the duration of election-driven market volatility has historically been limited; the future of the AI theme and geopolitical developments are the core variables driving the market towards the end of the year.
